Irregular periods
I am facing irregular periods issue from past 2 years. I have consulted doctors physically multiple times. They say it's harmonal imbalance meanwhile they give medicines and period becomes regular for 3-4 months and then again irregularity starts. I did my USG pelvis ultrasound ovaries are fine no clots in them. Had thyroid test done no thyroid.
Currently I had my last period on 5th Jan 2026 till now ( 26 march) I haven't got my periods yet. My pregnancy kit is also negative .
Can any doctor tell me about the issue?

1. Induce a Cycle : Since your last period was in early January, your doctor will likely prescribe a short, safe course of a progesterone-like medication to induce a withdrawal bleed and shed the uterine lining.
2. Comprehensive Hormonal Profiling : To find the missing link, a more detailed fasting blood panel is necessary. This is ideally done on Day 2 or Day 3 of your induced cycle. This panel should include:
* Serum Prolactin: Elevated levels can suppress periods.
* FSH and LH: To evaluate pituitary function and ovarian reserve.
* Androgen Profile (Free Testosterone, DHEAS): Sometimes, chemical imbalances exist even if the ovaries look perfectly normal on an ultrasound (which can be a variant of PCOS).
* AMH : To check your overall ovarian reserve.
3. Evaluate Lifestyle Factors : The reproductive system is highly sensitive. Significant stress, recent weight fluctuations, changes in diet, or intense exercise can completely suppress the hormones needed for a regular cycle
